In this vulnerable solo episode, Diane shares her transformational journey to Avalon—the mystical heart of Glastonbury, England—and how it became the sacred turning point she didn’t know she needed. While Diane has long guided women to release overwhelm and receive support, Avalon revealed a deeper truth: she was still holding far more than she allowed herself to admit. Through ceremony, sisterhood, and spiritual reckoning, Diane came face-to-face with the old pattern of over-responsibility—and made the choice to finally lay it down. This episode is a sacred reflection on self-devotion, feminine leadership, and what happens when we remember who we were before the world told us who to be. If you’ve been carrying too much, disappearing from your own life, or quietly asking “When is it my turn?”—this episode is your permission slip to come home to yourself.
